For a long time I was in love

Not only in love, I was obsessed

With a friendship that no one else could touch

It didn't work out, I'm covered in shells



And all I wanted was the simple things

A simple kind of life

And all I needed was a simple man

So I could be a wife



I'm so ashamed, I've been so mean

I don't know how it got to this point

I always was the one with all the love

You came along, I'm hunting you down



Like a sick domestic abuser looking for a fight

And all I wanted was the simple things

A simple kind of life



If we met tomorrow for the very first time

Would it start all over again?

Would I try to make you mine?



I always thought I'd be a mom

Sometimes I wish for a mistake

The longer that I wait the more selfish that I get

You seem like you'd be a good dad



Now all those simple things are simply too complicated for my life

How'd I get so faithful to my freedom?

A selfish kind of life

When all I ever wanted was the simple things

A simple kind of life
